There is incredibly interesting history surrounding that section of Hamilton which is on the Trenton border. Established on part of the old "Lalor Tract" back in the 1880's, Deutzville was named for Adam Deutz who founded a gold jewelry factory. In early 20th century, Deutzville also had a school, appropriately named the Deutzville School. More on this interesting village in future posts.

Tom, since the Deutz Jewelers on the 800 block if S. Broad began business in the 1800s, just wondering if there was a family connection?
I am investigating that very thing, Joe. I wouldn't be surprised if that is the case.
I am daughter of John Joseph Deutz, and Charles Deutz the owner of Deutz Jewelry was my Great Uncle.
